The Seattle Police Department<\/a> has released body-worn video and the audio of a 911 call associated with Tuesday\u2019s officer-involved shooting. SPD responded to a call from the Port of Seattle Police Department about a suicidal person.<\/p>\n

Port of Seattle officers described the man as a white male wearing a black coat and black pants, holding a knife to his throat. SPD officers arrived in the area and quickly located a man matching the description. Port of Seattle Police approached the man and attempted to use a less-lethal tool, but the device was ineffective. The man moved toward officers, shouting, “just do it. Do it…please kill me.” <\/strong>Two Seattle Police officers fired, fatally striking the man.<\/p>\n
